Thud! Thud! Thud!Shortly after the car doors were closed, the enforcement team from Internal Affairs rushed into the house. The person leading the team was Rupert Greece.Dale was elated when he saw them. “Captain Rupert, you’re here! Has Mr. Byron told you what’s happened?”Rupert nodded and glanced at Adrian and the other two.“Nobody would dare to cause trouble in Internal Affairs’ territory. Mr. Byron has already ordered this house to be demolished, yet you’re trying to seek compensation. I suggest you extort that money in prison instead!“You three have severely broken Internal Affairs’ rules, plus one of you even laid your hands on another person. This alone will be enough to charge you with years of imprisonment,” Rupert said to the trio.He was being straightforward because he already got the gist of the situation from Byron.Meanwhile, Adrian seemed slightly infuriated by Byron’s absence. Eyebrows furrowed, he said, “Byron should be here to deal with his own matters, y

Chapter 442

Dale trembled in fear after realizing that he had offended the legate.‘What the…’Both men were overcome by fear as they knelt.Looking at Rupert, Adrian looked at a guy next to the former and said, “Hand me your rod.”The guy dared not disobey the legate’s command and handed over his weapon. Grabbing it tight, Adrian threw a huge swing at Rupert’s face.“Argh!” Rupert sprawled onto the floor, teeth and blood flying out of his mouth.“Please forgive me, sir! I was just doing as I was told!” he screamed as he trembled.“You were just doing as you were told, eh?” Adrian snickered and continued, “I think you’re just taking advantage of your status to flex your authority though.”Adrian swung the rod once more after saying this, causing Rupert’s face to become very badly bruised.Dale did not dare utter a single word despite how badly Rupert was crying out. In this way, he thought he would be able to escape being punished, but Adrian suddenly swung the stick at his face as well.

Rupert trembled when he heard this.‘Three seconds? Are you kidding me? That’s literally not time at all!’However, he immediately shouted when Adrian started counting down, “I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”After that, he was trembling even more vigorously as his sweat drenched his clothes.Adrian smiled and said, “In that case, have your men sent to Byron’s residence immediately. I’ll be right there.“And remember. No press.”“Yes, sir!” Rupert shouted and waved. “Let’s go!”Rupert and his men immediately ran out of the house and did as they were told. However, Dale was still on his knees, not daring to get up without Adrian’s permission. He trembled even more after Rupert left.“Are you still going to tear down this house tomorrow?” Adrian asked as he looked at Dale.Dale immediately shook his head. “I-I’m not going to tear down this place anymore, sir. I won’t do it no matter what!”“You know, I’m not an unreasonable man. You’re free to tear down the place once you’ve compensated

Rupert’s face was still bruised. Although he had already done simple first aid on his injuries, he was still in really bad shape on the whole.Adrian made a gesture and said, “Go.”“Yes, sir!”Rupert waved his hand as he gave his order, followed by the first team kicking down Byron’s door and charging inside. Adrian and Rupert followed behind them.At that very moment, Byron was still having fun with an exquisite-looking woman upstairs when his door was suddenly kicked down. More than a dozen men charged into the room with their guns aimed at him and his woman.Byron was so shocked when the door was kicked down that he started shaking, while the woman shrieked and covered herself with the blanket.Bryon scurried to grab his clothes to put them on as looked at the people in front of him. “What are you guys doing?! Are you all mad?! How dare you barge into my room!”He could instantly tell that the men before him were from Internal Affairs based on their battle suits, which was wh

Chapter 445

Byron was stunned when he heard this.‘Working with the Luposians? Providing them support?’Byron was just calmly sitting in his office hours ago, not expecting to end up being arrested by the Battle Warrior Department. Because of this, he was furious.‘I’m the deputy chief secretary of Internal Affairs! I won’t allow anyone to step over my authority!’“How dare you accuse me, Draco! Our departments have never been at odds with one another so how dare you meddle in my affairs!” Byron stood on the bed and yelled at Adrian.“Silence!” Rupert suddenly swung a punch at Byron’s face, causing the latter to collapse onto the bed in pain. In fact, a few of his teeth had fallen off from that ferocious punch.“Are you still going to pretend that you’re a decent man, Byron? You’re hereby under arrest by War Legate Draco himself. Nobody is going to come and save you now!”Byron’s fury meter finally reached its peak, unable to believe that he had just been punched by his subordinate. “Rupert

“All right. I’ve already prepared your bath. Go wash up. You stink!”“Okay.” Adrian headed into the bathroom and showered before putting on the pajamas Samantha had laid out for him.Samantha was still reading her book after he was done. He asked, “By the way, do you know a person by the name of Tanner Dunn?”“Tanner Dunn?” Samantha seemed confused while Adrian nodded.Adrian wanted to be more thorough with his investigation since Sheldon mentioned his name.Samantha then replied, “I know the guy. He’s the deputy director of the SK Group and is a Luposian businessman. SK is considered a foreign-invested medium-sized company in Swallowston.“Why do you ask?” Samantha asked curiously.Adrian pondered for a moment before he smiled at her and said, “Something’s off with him, and I plan on meeting him tomorrow.”“He’s not going to be easy to meet. I’m sure you won’t be able to meet him if you walk in unannounced. Why don’t I get someone from the office to contact him for a meeting o

Chapter 447

The SK Group was a foreign-invested, medium-sized company in Swallowston.Quite a number of Luposians were working, and Tanner was one of them.For the longest time, Luposians had never received any restrictions while conducting their business here. They were not even affected by the constant battle in the outlands. In fact, many locals worked for SK.Adrian soon arrived at their gates and was about to drive inside when the company’s security guards stopped him. SK’s internal security consisted solely of Luposians. Locals were hired as security because the company was afraid they might be proven to be irresponsible, thus opting to use their own people.One of the security guards knocked on Adrian’s car window before gesturing for him to step out of the car for an inspection.“No outsider and their cars are allowed within the premises so what are you doing here? Are you here to meet someone?” a Luposian security guard in his uniform asked in broken Navillian, the native language of

The woman brushed her hair away from her face and beamed when she realized Adrian was not able to recognize her. “Do you not recognize me?”Adrian tried his best to recall, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind. Instantly, he knew who the woman was.“Ms. Vivian?” Adrian asked.Ms. Vivian, or Vivian Arce, was Adrian’s homeroom teacher back when he was at Swallowston High. It was she who chose Reiss to be the class monitor. Vivan was only twenty-five years old at the time and was now well over thirty. Adrian’s memory of her was still quite vivid.Seeing that he finally recognized her, Vivian chuckled and walked towards Adrian. “It really is you, Adrian. Long time no see. When did you get so tall?”Adrian was very surprised, not expecting to find Vivian there. She was the one who helped him become fluent in Lupolish.After being Adrian’s homeroom teacher for three years, one would be right to say that he had Adrian spend most of his life in high school with her.Still surprise

Chapter 449

Vivian started asking about Adrian’s personal life.After all, he had been her student once and they were able to run into each other out of sheer luck.However, Adrian had no idea how to answer her question. After a brief pause, he said, “I’m married too, Viv.”“What?” Vivian seemed pleasantly surprised as she looked at Adrian. “Well done, you! You’re such a handsome man so I’m sure you bagged yourself a beautiful wife as well, haven’t you? So, who’s the lucky girl?”Adrian remained silent for a while before smiling sheepishly. “You’ve probably heard of her. Her name’s Samantha Cowell.”“S-Samantha?”“Samantha Cowell,” Adrian repeated.Vivian was instantly shocked and could not find the words to say for a while. She had an awkward expression on her face and seemed caught in a daze.After a long pause, she still seemed to be in disbelief as she said, “There have been so many rumors going around about how the eldest son of the Xanders married the eldest daughter of the Cowells…

Chapter 450

Adrian was just about to ask her a question he had in mind too.“Are you acquainted with a guy by the name of Tanner Dunn?” Adrian asked.“You mean our deputy director?”“Yes, that’s him.”“I’ve rarely seen him. Twice over the past four years that I’ve been working with SK, to be exact. They were both during some special meeting too. Is there a reason why you’re looking for him?” Vivian asked.Adrian chose not to answer her question but asked another one of his own instead. “What does your company do? Do you guys regularly receive and deliver goods?”Vivian sounded sure of herself as she said, “Of course, we do. We have imports and exports almost every month. Most of them are sent to Sandy Bay Harbor, while others are done at some smaller harbors. Why do you ask?”“Have you noticed them receiving anything that seems suspicious?”Vivian thought about it for a moment. “Such as?”“Something that’s rather mysterious or unique. So much so that not even the people who unload them ar
